    I have a maybe niche question about this and Wifi 7 in general. On previous generations, I've always separated out my bands by SSID, so I could connect to the faster 5GHz band as whenever I noticed a device slowing down connectivity wise I had found it had hopped to the 2.4GHz band, and that always fixed it for me. I know Wifi 7 combines 3 bands and communicates over all at once, but that's only for Wifi 7 devices obviously. What about older AC or AX devices? Will I no longer be able to separate bands for them and have to rely on (imo unreliable) band steering?

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  27 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      You can separate all 3 bands if you want. I recommend combining the 2.5 and 5Ghz bands for faster speeds ( Smart Connect ). Older devices will connect to the 2.4 or 5Ghz bands. Also enable the IoT network on the 2.4Ghz only for some IoT devices that only use 2.4Ghz. Hope this helps.

    Right now neither for me personally, unless I uad zero other options like my current router dying, but even then I got some older equipment that I could make work. I really wish pfsense had vetter wireless support because its a MUCH better router/firewall solution, even if its overkill for most people. It just doesn't support mesh, just wireless APs with different ssids
    If I had no oither option then I would look into WiFi 7. The abulity to combine all the frequencies to get the fastest speeds is just an awesome addition, but mostly for LAN reasons. With that said, it wouldn't be to link and thats pricey and 8ts the cheapest option. I would try to hold off a year because I wouldn't want to have to uograde in say, 2 years because local data transfers will (or should) be faster with a device that has WiFi 7 capabilitie WITH the eight router. .
    That would have been the better test IMO although the Asus would probably still win because no actual WiFi 7 end devices to really test if the difference is substantial or not.
    One thing is for sure, a lot more research would have to be done if I had no other option. Qirhout dojng that uts hard to say with 100 percent certainty but thats the main WiFi 7 feature I'm looking forward ro. 2.4ghz has great range bit the slowest speeds. 5ghz doesn't have great coverage and was kimited in what channels you could use due to other devices like land kine phones. I haven't personally seen 6ghz in action. Im sure its great, until everyone has it. At least you have more channel options though.

    In your video "Get Faster PS5 Internet gaming speed port forwarding explained (2024)" when doing the testing with the PS5 you were receiving 526.7 Mbps (DL) and 97.7 Mbps (UL). Now you're dramatically improved that with 859.7Mbps (DL) and 108.7 Mbps.
    I guess my question here is what else did you need to do to improve on your original speeds? Was it hardware related? Both were hardwired.

    So I have the BE24000 aka the BE900 and I feel like I can't get the speeds that I am supposed to despite having a 1gb plan. I have only gotten over the 1gb surprisingly somehow once in the year I've had it which is sad to be honest lol. For a router that is said to be capable of up to about 24GB, getting 800 to 900 plus is not it! I think TP-Link lies about their speeds for their products.

    • @UltimateTechHub

    Great review thanks 🙏🏻 👍🏻 i have question in that if i have a wifi 6e phone and connect it to the tp link be9300, would it perform at the 6e standard or revert down to wifi6?
    So i guess i should ask does the be9300 support all the wifi standards 4,5,6,6e and 7 or is 6e excluded?
    I think that seems not clear on wifi 7 in general and wpuld be beneficial for consumers to know in general, if indeed it does support it then companies should say that it supports all previous standards.

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It supports Wi-Fi 6e. It depends on your end device and your ISP max speeds. I have 1gig speeds so I can only achieve 1gig internet speeds. I would probably just stick with Wi-Fi 6e for now. Wi-Fi 7 isn't supported by enough end devices. Thank you for watching!

  • @misbfa1
    @misbfa1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I am extremely skeptical of your 2.4Ghz results. Every other device has trouble getting over 200 Mbps down, and you're getting 700 on upload . It is typically hard to get good upload speeds on mobile clients (because of antenna array), and should be your first sign of an error. I would validate that portion of the testing to make sure that 5 and 6 Ghz were indeed disabled.

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I did multiple tests and my device was connected to the 2.4ghz band. The 700Mbps upload was the average of all the tests. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.

    • @misbfa1
      @misbfa1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      @UltimateTechHub I believe that you are genuine, but I also believe there is an error here. 2.4 Ghz is simply not capable of those kinds of speeds. Certainly not from a mobile device (possibly from one high-end MIMO to another). It should be a red flag to you thar your 2.4 Ghz upload was higher than the 5 Ghz.
      Please re-check and validate that all other frequencies are disabled.

    • @GregoryCunningham

    • @UltimateTechHub

      It depends on different factors like interference, the devices your connecting to and the band or bands your connecting to. If your getting 800 Mbps your on the 5Ghz band and thats some solid speeds. I've tested this router again a few different times and achieved around 800 Mbps on the 5Ghz band and 920 Mbps when using the smart connect which combines the 2.4 and 5Ghz bands. If your using smart connect then that's exactly why your getting 800 Mbps. Thanks for watching and check out this archer router! th-cam.com/video/Kf82zuJ1Zd8/w-d-xo.html

    I'm sorry, you tested its WiFi 7 performance with WiFi 6E devices and are disappointed with its performance on 6 GHz? Besides the devices you name in your comment below, there are multiple BE9300 adapters on the market which (theoretically) would let a PC achieve 5.7Gbps, that would be an actual test of its WiFi 7 speed. Also, it looks like you tested the 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports against your 1Gbps internet line and found that they achieved somewhat near 1Gbps. Did you test between two 2.5Gbit PCs using like iPerf, or copying a file?

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've tested between two 2.5g pcs using iPerf and got speeds of 2.5gbps with very low UDP jitter. If you want to watch that video I can send you the link. The 6Ghz band performs well but just not with my wifi6e end devices. I'm getting a new laptop soon that will have a wifi7 NIC so my testing would be way better with the 6Ghz band. Wifi7 is the future but we have to wait until our end devices catch up and faster ISP speeds ( 1-3 gig fiber ) Thanks for watching.

    Subscription is a free money to all these companies. They will milk and dime every single penny from consumers and stupid consumers sometimes go blindly paying for something that should have been default included to begin with. This is main reason I am switching all my networking gears to Unifi product. They are certainly bit more expensive but you don't get any of these subscriptions nonsense once you buy the hardware.
